The M or Marblehead Class, sometimes called the "50/800", is a remote-controlled high performance development class. It's original concept in the 1930's was to produce the largest model that would conveniently fit in the standard American car of the time. The class has been highly developed over the years to produce a high performance model that can be sailed in a wide range of conditions, assuming the owner has the appropriate rigs. Boats are available from several suppliers who can provide them from basic kit form to fully assembled.

Marblehead T50

The Marblehead T50 is one of the newer additions to the Tippecanoe family of beautiful model sailboats! Designed by Will Lesh, the Marblehead T50 is specifically made to race in the highly competitive Marblehead (50/800) class . The Marblehead T50’s concept is based on the more traditional T50 Racing Sloop and T50 Carbon Fiber Racing Sloop . Then, everything has been taken to the extreme for the optimum in speed and performance.

The Marblehead T50’s  super powerful, tall rig (in fact, the rig alone is over seven feet high!) is outfitted with sleek, fast mylar racing sails. A super light-weight carbon fiber and kevlar hull, sophisticated and strong high-performance sail servo, and the high tensile stainless steel single-strand rigging wire also help to increase power and to keep the Marblehead T50 extremely light.

The hull, including all the RC gear and batteries, weighs a mere 1 pound 11 ounces! To support the very tall ‘A’ rig, the keel bulb is seven pounds.

The Marblehead T50 is the ultimate in Marblehead Class racing! If you are looking for a boat which also sails beautifully and is made with less of an emphasis on weight reduction and class racing, you may want to also consider the T50 Racing Sloop. The T50 Racing Sloop’s build process is moderately complex, but not difficult, while the Marblehead T50’s building process is  complex with considerable detail.

The Marblehead (M) class is probably the most exciting to sail with its moderate size and light weight combined with high manoevrability and stability. Essentially a box rule with minimal constraints. A modern M will usually be made almost entirely of carbon fibre - hull, foils, spars and fittings.

The class was the first to adopt hi tech construction in the early 90s and development since then has been limited. This permits almost all boats built since then to be compete well in modern fleets.

The class is quite often referred to as the "Formula One" of radio sailing.

BOATSetc is your source for high performance pre-preg carbon RC sail boats. We can provide hulls, kits through to ready to sail boats.

If the famous design of Marc Pomarede succeeds the already successful Tramontane, this boat beats all records at the moment and is on the top of the list internationally and nationally. Based on paper plans, it was our task to develop the complete production process from digitization to mold production. The aim was to make the boat as cheap as possible, but without sacrificing quality. After making numerous prototypes, we are now able to produce boats in reasonable time.

• moulded in pre-preg carbon
• weight of about 320 grams with openings trimmed
• natural black carbon finish
• centre deck with deck level pot recess & foredeck built in
• fin box and mast tube moulding built in
• foredeck cut outs and hatch opening for access to rc are formed
• witness marks for setting out positions of fittings
• hulls are left with the surface as moulded
• bow bulkhead is low density epoxy filler
• stern is already closed

The Nioutram is available as a kit from about 1.490€  (incl Tax plus shipping)

Quark is the current design of our technology partner SAILSetc. Suitable for use with swing rigs or traditional rigs, QUARK is capable of performing well across the wind speed range. Characteristic of SAILSetc designed boats is their ability to perform for sailors of all skill ranges and in a wide range of conditions. Not only can they give excellent results for some of the best sailors (there were three QUARKs in the top 6 places at the 2014 world championship) but they can also give better results for sailors lower down the finishing results. This is partly due to their reliability imparted by the build quality and partly due to the handling qualities imparted by their fundamental and detail design.

Vintage Marblehead

In 1930 Roy Clough, then commodore of the Marblehead Model Yacht Club, proposed a new class of larger model sailboats. The first published reference we have is from Model Yachting for Oct–Nov 1930. These boats must be “50 inches on deck” (50 in LOA). The sail area was settled at 800 in 2 , and the single most popular class in the history of model yachting was launched. Called variously the “Marblehead,” “50/800,” or “M” class, it had at one time over 1000 registered boats. The class became a national class in the US in 1932 and an international class in 1937. There were many reasons for its popularity: the size of the boat made for a good sailing model in all kinds of weather and was still (by design, it was rumored) small enough to fit in the back seat of a car. The simplicity of the rules contrasted with the other classes of the day, which required extensive measurement to determine whether a boat was legal.

Discriminating sailors desire a perfect medley of new and old; a boat that is ahead of its peers in build quality and timeless in appearance. The high performance Marblehead 22 is epoxy built and bears the classic lines and charm of a traditional wooden boat, without the upkeep.

Above the waterline, the Marblehead 22 appears as a true classic: a narrow beamed hull accented by a nearly plumb stem, sweeping sheer, counter transom, and varnished coaming boards. Below the water she’s all performance. A fine entry gracefully transitions to a powerful mid-section that finishes with just enough rocker to bring the sea peacefully back together. The low center of gravity and efficient lift of the bulb keel combined with the balanced spade rudder contribute to the Marblehead 22’s ability to effortlessly climb to weather. The weather deck is open and uncluttered, featuring wide, flat surfaces around the cockpit to comfortably accommodate several crewmembers. Control lines from the North™ mainsail are all led to the middle of the cockpit where either the helmsman or crew can adjust the mainsheet, cunningham or outhaul (a.k.a. “snotter” to wishboom traditionalists).  The 45-pound Hall Spars™ carbon-fiber, un-stayed rig is designed to work in unison with the sail to provide power in light air, while bending off to open the leach and reduce power and heeling force in the gusts, keeping the boat at an optimal heel angle for a smooth, comfortable, fast sailing experience. The 11’ 9” of usable cockpit space is nestled between lockers aft and a small cuddy forward used for stowing gear. Speed, stability, “easibility” and good looks combine to ensure hours of pleasure on the water whether singlehanding or sailing with a crowd.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
